To initiate the membership process, individuals usually need to be proposed by existing members of the CGS. These proposals serve as endorsements of the candidate's suitability for membership and are typically submitted to the society's membership committee for review. Existing members may propose individuals whom they believe would be a valuable addition to the CGS community based on their character, golfing abilities, and potential contributions to the society.

Once proposed, candidates may undergo further assessments or interviews to ensure alignment with the CGS's values and objectives before being officially accepted as members. Overall, the membership requirements and proposal process aim to maintain the integrity and quality of the CGS community
